MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), which is in the specialty retail business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to $19.9 at one point, and dropping to the lows of $15.53. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether MarineMax's current trading price of $16.49 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at MarineMax’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's the opportunity in MarineMax?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 6.49% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy MarineMax today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $15.48, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. What's more, MarineMax’s share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

Can we expect growth from MarineMax?

NYSE:HZO Past and Future Earnings, June 25th 2019

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. With profit expected to grow by 62% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for MarineMax. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? HZO’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on HZO, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
